Abstract

During the mining of coal seams with outburst hazard, abnormal gas emissions in front of the coal mining working face (CMWF) may induce gas overrun. To address this technical problem, this study analyzed the permeability variation of coal in front of the CMWF at different stress paths through physical experiments, numerical simulation and on-site tests. The spatial-temporal evolution law of the unloading area of the working face under dual stress disturbance caused by hydraulic punching (HP) and coal seam mining was explored; next, a secondary enhanced extraction technology was proposed and applied in the Shoushan No. 1 Coal Mine, Henan Province, China. The results reveal the following: (1) the coal permeability decreases linearly with increasing confining pressure (CP) and axial pressure (AP) under Stress Paths 1 and 2 (that is, fixed AP and CP). (2) The coal permeability is negatively related to the distance from the stress peak point under Stress Paths 3 and 4 (that is, AP and CP are, respectively, the vertical stress and horizontal stress before the stress peak). (3) As the distance from the peak stress declines, the reduction amplitude of coal permeability in the test area first decreases, and then increases, under Stress Paths 5 and 6 (that is, the vertical stress as CP and the horizontal stress as AP). The plastic damage range of coal around the HP cavities expands due to the dual impact of HP and coal seam mining, which can realize both regional unloading and provide channels for gas extraction within 60 m in front of the CMWF. According to the gas extraction concentration of boreholes, the coal body in front of the CMWF is divided into three zones: efficient, effective and original extraction zones. The efficient extraction zone is within 20 m in front of the CMWF, with an average gas extraction concentration of over 30%. In the effective extraction zone, the gas extraction concentration falls with the increase in the distance from the CMWF. The original extraction zone is beyond 50–60 m, and the borehole gas concentration stabilizes below 10%. The number of extraction boreholes in the stress disturbance area of the middle-floor gas extraction roadway accounts for 5–10% of the total number of boreholes, but its maximum monthly extraction volume can reach 38.5% of the total volume.
